Orvidos

In that third screenshot, are those walls consequences of player actions, or is that part of a campaign/mission scenario where those are pre-placed?

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="101" id="2671611"]Ok, I've sent Orvidos a pm, if he doesn't respond soon, I'll give the go-ahead to skip his turn for now. Hope you don't mind, Orvidos.[/quote] I'll play when it next comes around. I utterly forgot about this in the sudden rush of planning a wedding. Have fun.

So, because I'm busy today (read: jury duty, hurrah) I'll do mine tomorrow/Saturday. Sorry for the delay.

[quote who="Grove12345" reply="5" id="2659068"]really not happy seeing what gamers or gaming industry has become after COD or WOW released. I would say GTA as well, but that game seems very well thought out and developed. I dont like it, but its good quality game.[/quote] Sorry to burst your bubble, buuuuuut: - MMOs were around, and financially successful, prior to WoW - FPS players are dicks in general. Not necessarily 24/7. I know a girl, ne

All yours Myles. Begin whenever.

[quote who="Pbhead" reply="84" id="2654125"]same. i wanna turn soon [/quote] Sent him a PM, as his previous reply was simply a quote of my PM and then blank. Odd, but whatever. If he fails to show by Thursday, Myles, it's all yours.

*Comes through with a pushbroom and gets rid of the tumbleweeds* I wonder where Iteuniso is. . .

[quote quoting="post"] Maybe you never intended games to go that high[/quote] . . .What's your extent of experience with Turn Based Games? That said, I seem to be fine in this area of nonsense.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="9" id="2652192"] Examples: 1. Fixed the overpowered monsters lurking around at start. etc. [/quote] I recruited a small party and went west. (My son!) I whimpered slightly at the troll lord, but defeated one of its minions without casualty. I then looked at its full stats and GTFO. When I encountered the sand golem with 100 something attack, I promptly exited Elemental and dec

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="81" id="2651818"]I hate to be such a bother, but Doopliss and Thiryn are both in Addendum A, but only Doopliss is in B. This obviosly cannot be correct. Also could you add a "completed" to people who have taken their turn(me)?[/quote] They aren't meant to be in B until they've actually been dwarfed. I forgot to remove Dooplis on correcting A. Added a Current Turn counter to the top of the post.</

Maybe because I value women and think most of us (read: men) are assjackets, but I can't help but think maybe the boyfriend is the dick? Then the gamer in my takes over. Good lord, bitch, calm thyself. Then I feel like an asshole. So all in all:

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="78" id="2651300"]Uh, could you look over my lists again? Thiryn has a dwarf, but it not been named in the game, nor has Dooplis. Also, you're missing some other dwarves. Could you add another addendum, listing dwarves that have been named, but haven't been named in-game yet? It would be easier for people starting a turn that way, so they know who to name. And I didn't drown! I died from falling a z-level or two,

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="76" id="2651189"] BTW, Orvidos, would you add the list of dwarves to the OP? I'm too lazy to check genders, so the next person can if they're willing.[/quote] Aaaaaaaaaas yoooooooou wiiiiiiiiish *Splashing sound* Addendum A provided, will be updated as required. We still have 2 'unnamed' dwarves, and people can of course request names ahead of time, for the next migrant wave. Th

[quote who="Thiryn" reply="73" id="2651106"]I love this game, even though I'm still learning how to play it (only up to vid number 5 in the youtube tutorial but then I got bored and started learning things the hard fun way instead) Anyway...could I claim a Dwarf? [/quote] By all means! Name: Gender: Profession: Just let us know and the next player will put you in when we get the chance.

[quote who="Pbhead" reply="71" id="2651059"]i highly doupt my turn will come up before 31.07, soez, dont worry about it, lolz. a turn a day... that requires some serious hardcore playing... and typing up... well, depending on your computers FPS, i guess... if you play at 200 fps... 1 year isnt very long at all. lol.[/quote] Yeah. That estimation is basically a 'best circumstances' guess.

[quote who="alway" reply="69" id="2650900"]When's the next available slot?[/quote] Iteu is away until Monday, when he should be getting his post up. So provided on two things: 1. Myles plays his turn Tuesday/Earlier 2. The release, or not, of 31.07 The next earliest turn is either Wednesday or Thursday. Again, dependent. Shall I put you in after Pbhead?

As we have several people on hiatus temporarily, and we're not time-limiting this (other than the year), your turn will come Wednesday at the earliest, Pbhead. Provided .07 has hit. Has it not, I'll slot you in for the nearest available one after it does.

[quote who="Myles" reply="63" id="2649674"]I'm pretty busy this weekend to do a decent write up. Better just to wait for Iteu.[/quote] Dodger roger. Pbhead, we're starting out with a relatively safe area. (As much as that can be said for Dwarf Fortress.) We don't want Skeletal Elk/Elephant/Jaguar death just yet. :P You're welcome to claim a dwarf/a play spot, if you'd like.

Iteu is going to be out of town for the weekend, so I'll leave the decision up to you Myles, since he didn't answer my reply PM. You can either go ahead and take his spot, and he'll get the next available one when he returns, or we can all just play Beta 2 for the weekend and wait on Starfist.

*Pokes his head out of his intentional bubble of ignorance for a moment* They made C&C games after Westwood closed down? What the hell are you guys smoking? *Goes back in*

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="56" id="2648269"] Well, there are equipment bugs, and I think he eventually picked one up, but never got to use it. In mature forts I can generally get at least one full steel squad. And don't forget an Arsenal Dwarf once you get 20+ pop. Wrestling is no longer superpowered. Oh, and military marksdwarves won't work. And I didn't drown myself in it, I died in a cave-in.[/quote] We have cave-

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="54" id="2648184"]I assigned you a battle axe, but still, you had to fill the combat report screen with "The Militia Commander Strangles the groundhog". As to the 2010 Military, the interface takes quite some time to get used to, or so I hear, and watch out for all the bugs, like inorganic megabeasts being unkillable by normal means. Same goes for healthcare. Oh, and ground needs to be muddy for underground farming, even on soil.[/quote

My favorite quote about DF: "I play Dwarf Fortress. Sometimes I wish I were a meth addict instead." I'll shoot Iteu a PM to get him about. I used the Complete and Utter Newby Tutorial from After Action Report. Pretty good. I'm going to load up your save to do two things though, Bill. 1. Learn the 2010 military interface (the AAR tutorial is on 40d) 2. Find out just how cracked my dorf is. And what you did to cause it. :P

Chances of it happening in the depths of the night are slim, since they've already culled themselves a 24 hour timeframe. Get some sleep, folks.
